Young Mom of Four Needs Your Help

Donation protected
Iah Cayetano is my 46-year-old niece who lives in the Philippines with her husband, Mark, and four kids (Juancho, 24, Ira, 18, Ianna, 15, and Magnus, 10). Iah was a sales representative at a call center in Metro Manila and ran a busy household until she was diagnosed with colon cancer last year. What started off as a feeling of "bloatedness" led to the discovery and emergency operation of malignant tumors in her colon. Six months later, during her first round of treatments, she willingly and without complaining, helped to organize my father's funeral despite how she felt. We were so amazed by her fortitude and grateful for her help.

Early June of this year, to Iah and our family's great disappointment, her doctor told her that there were small nodules seen in her abdomen during her check up scan and that she needed a second round of chemotherapy. Iah was devastated! She knew the effect of the chemo treatment was far worse than the cancer itself, but she reluctantly began the treatment for the sake of her family.

Currently, the family has now reached the end of their resources. They have used up their insurance and entire savings for the first round of treatments last year and whatever they had set aside since was used to start the second round. Her husband, Mark, wants to get a loan but Iah refuses to put their family in debt. She would rather accept her "fate" of dying early than to compromise her family's financial situation. In faith, I believe this is where we can step in to help Iah and her family. The amount needed (Cdn $22K) is huge for one family to come up with but with everyone's help, this surely can be achieved.

The raised funds will be used to pay for Iah's treatments and mounting medical bills. Lord willing, the treatments will help and she will be blessed with many more years to enjoy with her husband and children.

Every small donation helps and if you are not able to give, please help us by praying for Iah's recovery/miraculous healing and by sharing this request to others. Thank you so much and may God bless you for your kindness and compassion.
